PHOTOCHEMISTRY OF 6-HALO- AND 5,6-DIHALOURACILS. A SIMPLE SYNTHESIS OF FLUORESCENT URACIL DERIVATIVES

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)98327-8

6-Iodo- and 5,6-dihalouracil derivatives undergo remarkably efficient photocoupling reactions leading to strongly fluorescent heterocycles in the presence of suitable radical acceptors.
